    Server Description

    A legacy general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores, balanced memory, and a high-capacity bundled local HDD storage configuration.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m1.xlarge is a first-generation general-purpose instance featuring 4 dedicated physical cores on an Intel Xeon E5-2651 v2 processor running at 1.8 GHz. It is equipped with 15.0 GB of RAM, 1680 GB of local HDD storage, and a 1 Gbps baseline network. Running on the Xen hypervisor with an x86_64 architecture, this instance lacks modern CPU instruction sets such as AVX and AVX512. Benchmarks indicate limited performance, with single-core stress-ng and Geekbench scores falling into the bottom 10%. The instance provides a high storage-to-compute ratio via its bundled HDD, but exhibits weak memory bandwidth and processing speeds. It is best suited for legacy general-purpose workloads, basic file hosting, and low-intensity database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.154Score
    Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
